Seems like 99% of these games are set in the same bricky mazes, even though the gameplay isn't strictly bound to the concept of medieval dungeons.

Out Live was translated into English a couple of years ago. It's a futuristic mecha dungeon crawler with mech parts as equipment and several city hubs. It is pretty simple, but I enjoyed it.

I like how so many posts in this thread are thinking that OP was asking for dungeon crawls that weren't medieval fantasy things, where he was really asking about dungeon crawls that weren't all block-based mazes with 90 degree turns.

Captive and its sequel Captive II: Liberation.
Great concept - you control a squad of 4 droids remotely via a briefcase computer. In the first game you are trapped in an unknown location and must use the droids to find and free yourself. In the second game you have to free 666 hostages from a series of vaguely procedurally generated city blocks.
One of the few , if not the only game worth playing on the amiga cd32, featuring day/night cycles, trading, crude but atmospheric textured polygon graphics, and the ability to upgrade your droids by physically rewiring them using an on screen circuit board and logic gates.

Do you have difficulty configuring and using RetroArch?
What is it like to be retarded, yet believe that you are intelligent?
As a side note, can you suggest any retro non-fantasy dungeon crawler that does not use a "block-based" maze?
